Working with Larry has been a game changer for me. I’ve had other trainers before, but none have brought the level of energy, knowledge, and genuine care that Larry does. He doesn’t just show up and run you through a routine. He listens, learns what motivates you, and builds a plan that actually fits your life and goals.
Every session with Larry feels like a mix of hard work, encouragement, and real progress. He knows how to push me without making it feel overwhelming, and somehow, even on the tough days, I leave feeling better than I came in. He’s professional, always prepared, and honestly just a great person to be around.
Thanks to Larry, I’m stronger, more confident, and way more consistent with my fitness than I’ve ever been. If you’re looking for someone who will truly invest in your success and keep you motivated every step of the way, I can’t recommend Larry enough!

Larry listens to you and works with you at your level first to get you to your goal and end result. He really pushes and motivates you to reach your goal. He checks on you and holds you accountable to your goals. I couldn't have asked for a better trainer!

I contacted Larry and he responded quickly via chat and we scheduled a discovery call before meeting in person. I scheduled to meet with two personal trainers and ultimately decided to work with Larry based off is PT education/experience and responses to my questions during our meeting.
I have been working with Larry 3x a week for 2 months now and I like his: *Calm encouraging motivational style/demeanor. *Reasonable pricing *Availability to work with my early AM schedule. *Knowledge of what I need to do.
On my journey to adopting a healthier & fit life style, I didn’t want my lack of knowledge to hinder my progress. I didn’t want to get frustrated again with trying to figure out all of the exercise/weights “stuff”. I love not having to think and have Larry setting the machines, direct me in proper formation and telling me what to do to prevent injury and get my desired results.
My goal for investing in an experienced PT was to help me get fit, live healthier, lose weight, tone my body, get me on track with being consistent & showing up for myself. Larry has been great with helping me get in alignment to achieve these goals.
I am very pleased with my services and consider Larry not just my PT but an accountability partner I didn’t know I needed.

I started training with Larry back in January. He is very supportive and willing to answer any and all of your questions. This a very important to having a good weight loss journey and to see success. He also wants to make sure first and foremost that you are being healthy on your journey as well. I am very happy with my results and the way I feel.

Larry is amazing. Really pushes me, and I feel like I’m really getting something out of every workout. I feel parts of my body that I never expected to become toned/strong become so. Would recommend to anyone looking for a personal trainer in the Raleigh area.
